Chelsea (H) | Pre-Match Thread

Kev is not fit , he was on the pitch with ice on his hamstring , my guess is not risking it , we have no need of him , we have gundy , phil and bernie..... Oh

Chelsea will have a weeks rest before the CL final whatever happens.

 

[SWP's back]

Pep playing his CL Final cards close to his chest. Suggest to me that he has very much worked out a way to defeat Chelsea in the final and doesn’t want to give the game away and give Tuchel time to think about a way of countering it.

Full of negativity and slapped arses in here , anyone would think pep has put the under 7’s out ! Go and give your heads a wobble

 

[worsleyweb]

Be a draw this

 

[OntarioBlue]

Dias at right back?

He’s Ruben Dias - he can play anywhere

 

[Summerbuzz]

We have little reason to give them a dress rehearsal against a team sent out to copy our 'best' eleven.

 

[asahartford1]

my point is you argued that City would drift upon the news-they have in fact shortened (2.08) . the drift occurred earlier when the selection prob leaked.

And city evens to win champs lg in 90. 1/2 to lift trophy.

Would a minimal .02 change in odds on an exchange mean anything though, they drift like that on most markets.
Take your point about the CL final odds, Talksport quoted the odds yesterday, stupid of me to take what they said as gospel.

 

[kun]

Don't like the team at all

Still. hopefully we can win the title today. Come on City!

 

[paulsimpson]

Cancelo moves back there when we're out of possession.

Yes and likewise Mendy or Rodri possibly. This game could be as boring as watching paint dry as both teams cannot afford to lose . If we get a goal expect us to defend it and see out the game

 

[domalino]

I wonder how Chelsea will feel about the final if we beat them with this side.

Is it worse because our B team beat them, or is it better because the final will be completely different?

 

[maurizio]

I really want us to win this. Like everyone don't know if this team can achieve that as they look to be open to quick counter attacks of the kind that did us at the start of the season. The two full backs will be upfield most of the game. When we lose the ball it might be chaos. It'll be OK if we could rely on the forwards to put the chances we create away, then it could be really entertaining. But we've been missing so many chances and Sterling has been off his game. Pep is a genius so I assume he has a plan for the opposition.

 

[SWPISHOME]

All we need to do is pick up two points and it's over, People going over the top on here today.
Rags aren't going to win their remaining games not a fucking hope.
Even with the team we have out today I still think we can win today. A team that has Dias, Laporte, Rodri, Aguero ect is more than capable of winning a football match.

Come On City!!!

 

[Akpowell]

Draw written all over this

 

[LongsightM13]

Love it. Playing a mad team when we can wrap up the league title shows just how far we have come since 2012. City are fucking MASSIVE

Do you want to win this game? If so isn’t it better to play a stronger first 11? Like I said before if we win great but if not we have handed our champ league finalists a psychological advantage.

 

[come-on-barney]

can Start all the strikers you want. Zero creativity in that team. We won’t score.

I bet you we do

 

[kaz7]

Pep ,game on !

 

[jimmygrimblesboots]

Chelsea's bench is shite in comparison to ours , we have players who can come on and win the game for us , 0-0 at 65-70 mins and bring on Gundo , Foden and Mahrez to f*ck them up.

 

[Chi-town blues]

I know everyone wants to put this bed and I can finally get drunk in middle of the afternoon but we still got some room to fuck around.
Plus got to keep the squad sweet .
